IT FEEDS ON NEGATIVE ENTROPY.

We strive to understand the fundamental logic behind the fate, form, and function of living organisms

The Life Logic Laboratory (L3) strives to decipher the fundamental mechanical, physical, and biological driving forces and mechanisms responsible for the fates, forms, and functions of organisms in the human body and nature. Via exploiting such knowledge, L3 also seeks to rescue defective human organs by developing novel therapeutics and engineer living structures for the next-gen biomedical technologies. 

Current research foci include, but are not limited to:

(1) Leverage microengineering tools, human stem cells, and quantitative models to recapitulate early human morphogenesis and organogenesis, investigate their mechanisms, and deliver high-fidelity organ-on-a-chip models.

(2) Develop and investigate biomedical devices and tools to modulate biomechanical functions of defective organs for therapeutic purposes.

(3) Model tissue/cellular/subcellular structures and investigate their mechanical/physical behaviors.

(4) Model biological and natural materials to rationalize their properties.
